Time for a beatdown in beantown - July 5th 2011 - Jays @ Red Sox - Gamethread

Is everyone ready for another Head and Shoulders Hats off Moment game thread? I know I am!

I make jokes, but with the way Jose Bautista swings the bat you can really expect any game to produce a memorable hats off moment this year for the Jays. Bautista could slug out 4 or 5 Home Runs in a game and I would be like whoa thats awesome, but I honestly not sure I would be surprised..... Isn't it great that we have a player that is this good? That is feared by opposing teams and jeered by opposing fans because they think he is arrogant or whatever other excuse they come up with to hate the guy?

Cecil gets his second start since his recall, He has thrown against Boston once this year, and it was his only win on the year. He went 6 innings that day while giving up 3 runs on only 2 hits, but 4 walks, he had struck out 5 and the two hits he gave up were both Home Runs. Cecil looked better last time out and deserved a better fate, but I did notice that a few of the pitches were still being left up in the zone.
